Distribution of mycoplasma gliding velocities about the mean. Gliding speeds of the individual motile cells for each strain or serovar were grouped into bins of 0.2× the mean, designated x, for each species. The percentage of cells with speeds in a given range out of the total population of motile cells was plotted against the speed as a fraction of the mean speed for each isolate. (A) Black bars, M. iowae serovar K; gray bars, M. iowae serovar N. (B) M. penetrans. Black bars, strain GTU-54-6A1; gray bars, strain HF-2.
